Re: Question about DIV and MVR

Adam,

I agree it's odd, MVR sounds like it should be whole :-), but it is the remainder when dealing with decimal precision.

This should help. Excuse the badly named fields from my example...

one div two = final = 00.714
00.714 * 84 = 59.976.
60 - 59.976 = 00.024

Okay, that makes sense. I must have messed up when I tried this with the numbers used in the RPG reference example. Thanks ... I hope I never need to know this :)
